Check out Diriyah Art Futures's CONTINUUM ’25 exhibition in Riyadh
The exhibition features 13 diverse artworks
Riyadh is known for its love for the arts; we have a public art project dedicated to incorporating more art into public life. Now, we’re welcoming the CONTINUUM ’25 exhibition in Riyadh.
Happening at the gorgeous new museum in Diriyah, Diriyah Art Futures, the exhibition showcases works by the first batch of emerging artists in new media arts.
Curated by Irini Papadimitriou, the exhibition features 13 diverse artworks, including immersive installations, audiovisual pieces, virtual reality works, and AI-generated art.
The installations and artworks are all centred on memory, identity, displacement, environmental and ethical concerns, and even the power of algorithms.
CONTINUUM ’25 in Riyadh blends the real and the virtual, the human and the machine, and the spirit of ongoing exploration and creativity.
The exhibition was created by 11 emerging artists in the Emerging New Media Artists Programme developed in collaboration with Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains in France.
